Love animals, always have! When I turned 6 and was finally old enough to take care of an animal, I adopted my first pet. Pretty soon afterwords, neighbors and friends started hiring me for pet care and I had my very first job. As a life-long pet owner myself, I understand wanting to make sure that your pet is comfortable, happy, getting their needs met, and most importantly safe while you’re away. You can be confident that I will always care for your pets like I would for my own. My partner and I own a home in the Berkeley neighborhood in NW Denver, CO, with a large fully fenced-in yard, walking distance to multiple parks and dog parks. However, you may notice that my Rover profile lists me in a different location. That's because I travel in order to provide care for my clients, so please feel free to reach out no matter how far away you are, I love to see new places and am happy to come to you! I’ve cared for pets of all ages, at my home as well as theirs, who’ve had physical health issues, are escape artists, had anxiety disorders, as well as administered medication needs (inhalers and injections included). I leash and house trained my past dog, a previously abused adult husky rescue, using positive behavior reinforcement and will always use humane methods to care for any animal. Please note that I personally do not use nightingale or electric collars AND I also understand that some of my clients do. I’m always more than happy to work with owners and pets to find a solution that works for everyone while they are in my care. This can include teaching behavioral training or using a different type of harness (which I keep a few of at home to use when needed) to help improve pulling or lunging.
